A schooner Goes Down In "A Gale With all
on Board.
MARQUETTE Mich, September Sword
has lust been received of the laundering Of
the schooner Niagara, six miles northeast
of White Fish Point, Lake Superior, in
yesterdays gale. She was commanded by
Capt. Clements, aud was ore laden from
Ashland to Ashtabula. Her crew of ten men
were lost, and the Captains family is also
reported TO have been aboard. The Mag
ara belonged to the same tow as the
Schooner Lucerne, which was lost last
November of Ashland with eleven lives.
She was owned by Mr.. Corrigsn, OF Cleve-
land. Owing to the poor wires and the
fact that there are no survivors, details are
hard TO get,
Captain Delos Waite, of the steamer
Idaho, just arrived, reports passing the
wreck of the Niagara at IL 80 a. m. to-day.
She lies in one Isthom of water, ten miles
this side of White Fish Point and five
miles from shore. Her mizzen mast Just
reaches above water and her main and
foremasis are floating near with other
pieces of wreckage. Capt. Waite saw no
traces of any of her Inflated crew and
states that though not many miles from
shore and the White Fish Point life saving
station, no small boat could have lived in
the terrible sea which was running there
Wednesday.
The United Empire arrived at the Sault
during the day and reported that it was
the worst sea her crew ever experienced,
and when the Idaho came up ii was still
running high. Capt. Waite thinks that
in addition to the crew of the Niagara there
were a number of ladies aboard of her, as
he met her when she was bound up and
noticed them. All must have persisted
between thirteen and fifteen souls. The
Niagara was in the tow of the Australasia
this year, not of the Raleigh as last year.
The gale was one of the worst on the lake
for ysars, the wind reaching a velocity of
sixty miles an hour. The George Sherman
is safe behind White Fish Point, though
fears were felt for her safety, There Is no
way of ascertaining the names OF the lost

Wants Half OF Chicago.

CHICAGO, September 9.-What would be
a very important bill, if it were not known
that the claimants have engaged in such
litigation before, and that their legal titles
are not highly regarded. was fled in the
United States Circuit Court here
today. The c0mplalnants are
the heirs of John Beaubein, French-Cana-
dian, who in 1912 squatted on the ground
now forming the eastern side of the bust
ness portion of Chicago. He held uudis-
pated possession until 1910, when the
Federal war department ousted him.
Beaubein by law had the right to purchase
the tract of the government at dollar
and quarter an acre, and 1t is asserted
that he elected to do 20, but the war
department summary elected him. The
value of the land is now far up in the mill
lions, being occupied by many of the larg-
est Wholesale houses and retail stores in
the city, not to mention scores OF
wbarves and vast network
OF railroad track. The bill is to compel
the government to grant Beaubien's heirs
o patent to the land. They claim all the
properly between Madison street and the
Chicsgo river, and State street and Miohi-
an, excepting the four acres once occu-
led by Fort Dearborn. 1t has been claimed
that Beaubien received other land In lieu
OF his claim, but this is denied by the
heirs.

Prohibition IN New Jersey.

TRENTON, N. J., September S.-About
200 leading Prohibitionists OF the State
met in conference in this city this morn
ing. Speeches were made in the forenoon
and in the afternoon a platform was
adopted embodying among its utterances
that prohibition could not be hoped tor
from the leading parties; that the ex-
termination OF liquor is the central idea Of
the, party and the only test of party
fealty, and that mo person be nominated
or endorsed by the Prohibition party as a
candidate for any Office in any town,
county or district in this State, unless such
person be an openly avowed and con-
sistent member of the Prohi bition party.
and unless he has wholly separated HIM
self from all other political parties. We
re-affirm the declaration that all who work
at an honest calling are laborers, and no
class can speak for labor. Every species of
incidence is to be condemned. Only law
ful and peaceful means should be used to
redress wrongs, No man has any right to
prevent any other man from performing
honest labor upon his own terms. Univer-
sal prohibition by prohibition party is
the only method by which a satisfactory
suppression of the liquor traffic can be &C
complished." mass meeting was held
this evening.

Intimations of Slight to the President
Which Are Denied.
PHILADELPHIA, September 10. Com
mander Harper, of the Department of
Pennsylvania, G. A. R., has just issued an
order for the Grand Army demonstration
in the military parade next Friday. Par
agraph seven Of the order is the cause of
q little comment; 1t reads as follows: In
passing the reviewing stand or while being
reviewed by Lieut.Gen Phillip Sheridan,
United States Army, none but post COM
manders will salute. Post colors will be
dipped. As the parade will be reviewed
by President Cleveland and Gen. Sheridan
will be IN command of the line, it is
claimed by some veterans, not Grand Army
men, that the name OF President Cleveland
should have been inserted in that para
graph Of the order, and that it Is direct
slight to the chief magistrate in not doing
so. Grand Army men, however, are all OF
the opinion that the matter was an over
sight and that no slight was intended.
PHILADELPHIA, September 10.-The order
of Department Commander Harper OF the
Grand Army of the Republic to be observ-
ed on Friday next, the day of the parade
Of the organization, which has provoked
considerable criticism owing to the omis-
sion of any reference to President Cleve-
land, was explained as follows to-day by
Col. Thomas J. Stewart. Assistant Adju-
tant-gentral, Department of Pennsylvania,
G. A. R., who framed the order. The or
der as issued read as follows:
'In passing the reversing stand or while
being reviewed by Lieut.-Gen. Philip
H. Sheridan, q. s. A, none but
Post Commanders will saluse. Post colors
will be dipped"
Col Stewart said TO day; 'It is all wrong
to imagine that we intended 10 slight the
President. The order issued concerns only
the Grand Army OF the Republic aud
is in every sense correct. 1t was
issued solely for the information OF
GRIND Army men who were anxious to
know whether or not they we're to be re-
viewed by Gen. Sheridan. Gen. Sheridan
will review them and that's what the order
says. But in saying so it does not ignore
the President, or if it does it was not so
intended. However, in order that there
may be no misconstruction of that
section of the order, there has
been issued from headquarters a
supplementary order including the
President in the salute. The supplement
tary order reads: In passing the revie "
ing stand at Broad and Samson streets,
where the column will be reviewed by the
President of the United States, or while be-
ing reviewed by Lieut-Gen. Philip Il.
Sheridan, U. s. A, near the point of
dismissal, none but the Post Commanders
will salute. Post colors will be dipped.
Comrades will march by without saluting
ard eyes to the front"

were killed by falling trees. Ali tall trees
were leveled and the lower ones spared.
Ore farmer had fifty acres of fine timber
all blown down. A prick school house at

Ohio Central Railroad the track of the
storm can be followed as far as the eye can
reach. 1t is from 100 to 200 yards wide.
No fences nor tall trees are standing in this

No loss of life is reported, but many mar

His Reasons for Declining to Attend the
Coming Centennial Celebration.
LONDON, September S.-The letter con-
tanning the invitation to Mr.. Gladstone to
attend the centennial celebration of the
adoption of the American constitution at
Philadelphia, was dated June 81, and was
signed by Messrs. kasson, Little, Carson
aud Cochrane, the committee. Mr.. Glad
stone was invited as the guest of the COM
mittee, and he was informed by the gentle
man who conveyed to him the invitation
that il was the only one sent to any per-
son not an American citizen, or an accred-
tied diplomat, the exception in his case be-
ing intended as an express recognition OF
the historical tits which bound Great
Britain aud America before the Declare
ton of Independence. He was also as
sured that he would be allowed to make
whatever arrangements he pleased and
would be entertained in America as no
man has been since the visit Of Gen.
Lafayette.
Mr.. Gladstone on July 20 made reply to
the letter and assured the committee of
the great honor he felt in receiving an In
vitation to the celebration of the centen-
airy of the American Constitution. His
letter continues: 1.-THE attractions of the
invitation are enhanced 10 me by the cir
cumstance that l have always regarded
